I work for the Government and just started the first job in 17 years for which I am not drug tested.

You could try man-ing or woman-ing up, being an adult and handling your life without getting altered with drugs.
It works for millions of us.

Except for problem drinkers. But it does a good job weeding out productive MJ users, though.
Not really.

Maybe if you layed off the drugs for a little while, you could educate yourself on how dumb that response is. Which of those amendments do you believe apply to a private employer? Which amendment do you believe prohibits a governmental employer from screening potential employees for legal drug use?

I had to take a drug test in the military, and one time I was volun-told to be the guy who watches while the person is peeing.
I hated it, but I understand the need for it. Never had to do it for any of the civilian white collar jobs I've worked.

What does the Bill of Rights have to do with a private company requiring a drug test? The Bill of Rights applies to governmental power, not corporations.

Progress!
My only complaint about the drug tests is that they can be inconvenient to schedule and sometimes I struggle to pee on command. But I don't really have an issue with them.
OP here - they're not super inconvenient. I drink a gallon of water that morning and I'm set.
I guess I just wonder if the need for the tests across all stratosphere of work says something about a changing American society and the next generation of a qualified workforce being eliminated before they even have a chance.

An autopsy has revealed that two Woodlands High School seniors had fentanyl in their systems when they died earlier this month.
What does this have to do with pre-employment drug screening?
If the generation graduating high school and college are dying off before they can even take on entry-level roles, there’s no one to work the jobs.
And yes it’s a problem - over 100,000 Americans have died from a drug overdose in 2021.
